Hail Russia, long live Tsar Putin! Djokovic Sr. at the Australian Open expressed his support for Russia
Novak Djokovic’s and his entourage’s activities in Australia after a year have brought more controversy. This time it’s not his fault, but his father’s, and it’s not the coronavirus vaccination that’s to blame, but the disgusting support for the Russian Federation.
Novak Djokovic’s and his entourage’s activities in Australia after a year have brought more controversy. This time it’s not his fault, but his father’s, and it’s not the coronavirus vaccination that’s to blame, but the disgusting support for the Russian Federation.
This year’s Australian Open is accompanied by Russian provocateurs. They show up at the matches not only with Russian flags but even T-shirts with a capital Z, indicating support for Putin’s war.
Russian fans provoked with Russian flags at the match of Ukrainian tennis player Kateryna Baindlova. Organizers subsequently banned Russian and Belarusian flags from the venue.
“This was already a complete package – Russian flags, Putin, Z symbols, the flag of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic. Such a disgrace,” said Vasyl Myroshnychenko, the Ukrainian ambassador to Australia, in disgust.
Almost all countries have spoken out against Russia’s war in Ukraine, with Serbia being one of the few that, more or less secretly, expresses support for Putin. And it is this country that is represented by former world number one Novak Djokovic.
The 21-time Grand Slam champion himself used to be in extremist circles, but his father Srdjan went even further.
After Djokovic’s win over Russia’s Andrei Rublov on Wednesday, a fan with a pro-war and ultra-nationalist “Z” symbol and a Russian flag emblazoned with a portrait of dictator Vladimir Putin stopped Djokovic’s father.
The father of one of the world’s best tennis players willingly posed. “Brother Alexander Zaldostanov, we send greetings to our brothers in Moscow. Long live Russia!” shouted the man filming. “Long live the Russian people,” added Djokovic’s father. Alexander Zaldostanov is the head of the well-known biker group Night Wolves, which is also closely linked to Putin.
Djokovic then proceeded to join other fans who proudly greeted him with chants of ” Long live Tsar Putin!”
